A Taste of Life Abroad: Fireside Chat with Chef Charlie Palmer

32 minutes

Join Austin Allison, CEO of Pacaso, for an inspiring conversation with celebrated chef, hotelier, and entrepreneur Charlie Palmer.

Charlie shares his journey from a high school home economics class to building a global hospitality empire—and why his latest venture led him to co-own a pied-à-terre in Paris. Discover how Charlie uses co-ownership to balance a demanding professional life with the desire to create a global legacy for his family.

Key takeaways

  • The Entrepreneurial "Spark": Hear how a single teacher’s influence launched a career in fine dining and the eventual creation of the Appellation hotel brand.
  • A "Recipe" for Simplicity: Charlie discusses why co-ownership is more practical and less stressful than traditional second home ownership, offering a seamless experience that fits a global lifestyle.
  • Cultivating a Global Legacy: Learn why Charlie prioritized a home abroad to expose his grandchildren to diverse cultures and create lasting family memories.
  • The Professional’s Perspective: Direct insight into the ease of the Pacaso transaction and an operational experience that meets a world-class hotelier’s standards.
